Neo Geo Architecture

Chapter 9: That's all folks

My Neo Geo AES. I bought it out of curiosity because the seller was offering a complete set with a flashcart and two controllers. Half a year later, it became a good excuse to write an article about it.

Curiously enough, the last Neo Geo game was released in 2004, almost 14 years after its release. That's quite an achievement for a household/arcade console, and I hope that this analysis has helped you understand these outcomes from a technical perspective.

From my side, I found it engaging to return to a 2D console after typing so many words for the Nintendo 3DS article, this helped me revisit the 'classic' writing structure that I adopted during the website's beginnings in 2019.

Thinking about the follow-up articles, I've still got two avenues to explore: Continue the modern hardware timeline after the Nintendo 3DS, or proceed with another 2D console: The Pippin. The latter would help me introduce the PowerPC CPU, while modern hardware would enable me to talk about the ARMv7 and the ARMv8. We'll see!

Until next time!
Rodrigo
